this transfer market is the best in years pending tomorrow's announcement...
one more midfield player would be brilliant and would wrap up the window nicely (or am i just being too greedy now?) A left back would do nicely too but i wouldnt be too disappointed if we have to wait until the summer for that

Walker loan, Makoun, Bent, Figueroa, Adam and one of the CB's linked and this would be by far the most exciting transfer blitz since big ron days.

I remember being very excited pre 1995-6.  Draper, Southgate, Milosevic...

I wasn't partic, i knew Draper was a good player but didn't know much about the other 2. They all turned out to have good first seasons, Southgate in particular. Draper went downhill after...

I was flat-hunting yesterday in Madrid and viewed a place next to Rayo Vallecano's stadium, where Draper went on loan during his final months with us.

He's Notts County's kit man now.

I got excited about Steve Watson. That's how bloody naive I am.

I wasn't alone so!

Ah, let the book balancing baseless bollocks begin!

Aston Villa are NOT ALLOWED to make big money signings. It's against the rules. There must be a reckoning somewhere.
Yes, that's it. I mean, where would Villa's billionaire owner come up with that sort of money from?

According to that, Spurs have a 10% sell-on clause on Bent. Do we ever do this - Gary Cahill springs to mind?

just what I was thinking as soon as I read it. Some of the media really are total wankers.

Looks like Cummings is going.

"Omar Cummings coming back to Colorado - loan deal with Aston Villa falls through, according to source."

I wonder if there's any truth to the Dunne to Arsenal rumours?

Daily Mail are reporting Arsenal have inquired - likely bollocks

Young might go, but if he does the money will be spent IMO. Likewise Downing, though I think both will stay,

Cummings can't get a work permit so is on his way home, shame really, but the appeal process is lengthy.

Given for Brad.... good deal for us and them - was discussed on here few days back wasn't it as an option?
